Answer:

c. Malaria, HIV/AIDS, lower respiratory infections

Step-by-step explanation:

Sub-Saharan Africa is the political-geographical term applied to describe the countries of the African continent located in the southern Sahara desert region. It is one of the poorest regions in the world with high rates of child mortality, illiteracy and low life expectancy.

In addition to extreme poverty, sub-Saharan Africa has faced frequent malaria infection, HIV / AIDS, and lower respiratory infections, which affect a large portion of the population and are most likely to be the three leading causes of DALYs in sub-Saharan Africa.
